You shouldn't be too confident against a team that's already beaten you on your own patch earlier in the season - but I am pretty confident for this one nonetheless. If we can win this we'll have beaten every team during the first half of the season.

Anyone heard any team news? Any of the injured players back yet?

I'm not confident at all - mostly because I don't think I'll get down there :lol:

Ayr are on a bad run, it would be just like us to give them a boost. I would'nt mind another performance like the Ross County one, just make sure we take the chances when they come.
What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me—into us—clearly or darkly? I hope it does, he thought, see clearly, because I can’t any longer these days see into myself. I see only murk. Murk outside; murk inside. I hope, for everyone’s sake, the scanners do better. Because, he thought, if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we’ll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too.

I'd be quite happy with us only losing say 2-0. That would be an improvement on our last few scorelines. We have top scorer Williams out and Wardlaw out through suspension and Moore is injured. We don't stand a chance. Will be betting on the Rovers at 11/10! B)

We may all look different but we are UNITED and breathe the same AYR

It really is just a question of how many Rovers will win by.

Our players can't stand one another, don't bother trying all that hard and most are totally off form. Add that to our missing strikers and we'll be lucky to get Nil tomorrow.

21 years and this is unquestionably the worst Ayr 'team' I've ever witnessed. They are no better than a pub team ( and probably less fit too).

I (along with many other regulars) am just about past caring, and the pain of all this pish is only eased slightly by the money I make betting against Ayr every week.

I would be delighted with a 2-0 defeat.

21/10 is a fantasy price from the bookies and i'm all over it this week.

We've no strikers to speak of (Varielle aint kicked a ball all season) so this could be a long afternoon for Ayr.

Ayr will win this. I hate games like this, games where everyone thinks you'll win but you know Rovers will bottle it. Hopefully i'm wrong.

Ayr to win at a canter, 3-1 :(

This should be an interesting game with both sets of fans having little faith in their team :ph34r: Since the game is away I have slightly more confidence in us getting a result, hopefully we can put together a decent run before playing County again :unsure:

Btw rw89 have you been taking lessons from Whistleblower :lol:

Erm....we've tried it against Stranraer, Stirling , Cowdenbeath and Brechin, games we could have gone into and won but the player bottled it.

I have to agree here.

I'm one of the most negative and pessimistic people when it comes to Ayr (and with good reason), but if we were joint top of the league having won three of our last four away games and were travelling to face a team not just off form but in absolute crisis, I'd be extremely confident.

Every time in my entire life ive been conifdent of a Rovers win, weve fooked it up.

2-0 Ayr
Long ball (often colloquially referred to as 'hoofball') is the term used in association football to describe an attempt, often speculative, to distribute the ball a long distance down the field via a cross, without the intention to pass it to the feet of the receiving player.

It is a technique that can be especially effective for a team with either fast or tall strikers. The long ball technique is also a through pass from distance in an effort to get the ball by the defensive line and create a foot race between striker and defender.[1] While often derided as either boring or primitive,[2] it can prove effective where players or weather conditions suit this style; in particular, it is an effective counter-attacking style of play in which some defenders can be caught off-guard.

Problem is Monster everytime we get confident about a game we "should win" we play poorly and look no better than a pub team :(

As for Graeme is he feeling okay? somebody should check his Temperature :lol:

Well I'm prepared to break the mould with some cautious optimism. Ayr have been on a bad run and are unlikely to be quite as bad again, it'll need a good performance from us - but I think it's within our capabilities.

I'm gonna throw caution to the wind and say we're gonna pump Ayr on Saturday.

Mind you I thought we'd pump Brechin last week! <_<

I don't find it very reassuring that a lot of the Ayr 1st teamers will be out. I'd rather we played against these guys that were getting hosed every week rather than a bunch of fringe players with something to prove.

What's the odds on Rovers? Anything against is a good value bet IMO!
